Taipei
Taipei is a captivating city, a blend of modernity and tradition, vitality and culture. After dark, the city comes alive with a unique charm—popular night markets like Raohe Street Night Market, Ningxia Night Market, and Shilin Night Market burst into life, lining the streets with vibrant lights and fragrant aromas. From crispy fried chicken and stinky tofu to beef noodles and bubble tea, the dazzling array of classic Taiwanese snacks is unforgettable and a must-try for food lovers.
Beyond the night market fare, ascending the Taipei 101 Observation Deck is a fantastic way to experience Taipei's scenery. Take the world's fastest elevator directly to the 89th-floor indoor observation deck or the 91st-floor outdoor area for breathtaking 360-degree views: by day, gaze out over the Datun Mountains and the Tamsui River, and at night, gaze down upon the vibrant cityscape of lights and traffic. It's the ultimate vantage point from which to experience Taipei's urban charm.
